I once sacked a member of my staff because he showed

Adverbs of degree

absolutely no sense of humour during a house fire.

And this member of staff, what was his job?

He was my husband's assistant at the time.

You fired him cos he DIDN'T find it amusing? Yes.

How did it begin, Sharon? How did this happen?

..beautiful, kind of, you know, chilly, Christmas night,

"Oh, well, let's light this beautiful gift,"

in this copper kind of vessel that it's in.

And we turned the lights out and we watched a Christmas movie,

This alarm was ringing and ringing. An alarm went off?

Was Ozzy keen to go down and have a look?

He's going, "I can't go down - I'm flammable!"

And so he went down and suddenly I hear my name being called.

So, I went downstairs and, there he was in the living room,

Was he in pyjamas, or...? What's he got on?

No, he had a sling on like this... His sling was on fire?

And half his hair. Half his hair? Half his hair was all on fire.

Where was this assistant during all of this? Why...?

Ooh, that's illegal. that - pretending to be a copper.

and I'm hitting Ozzy with the magazine. Yeah? Not...

So, then, outside, there was a fountain. Right.

You threw him in the fountain? Made a wish.

And then, I think. "Right, where is that...of an assistant?"

..and he's going, "Everything all right?" You know?

"Get out. Help! Go in, and get the paintings out."

It's what a personal assistant's number-one job -

go into a burning building and get the art out.

And there were dogs, and I said, "You must go in and find the dogs."

And so, he was, like, humming and hawing, this EX-assistant.

And so the fire engines arrived. Very lovely people.

And then they came and they had this oxygen for the assistant.

"You work here and you get more paintings out right now."

"Yeah, you can oxygenate your blood on your own time."

And I took the mask... You didn't take the mask off him!

You said on the card that you sacked him for not having a sense of humour.

Isn't that what you said? Yes, because...

Well, after this terrible night, he was not talking to me.

And Ozzy and I were recounting everything,

And he goes, "I don't see what's funny about any of this!"

and he said, "I think I'm going to have damaged lungs."

And, I mean, please! So, then...I said...

.."If you don't think that's funny, do you think this is funny?"
